A new player is about to shake up urban mobility in Brazil. Aima, the Chinese manufacturer already known for its electric scooters and motorcycles, has officially confirmed the launch of the Aima A05, a compact and affordable electric minicar aimed at the general public.
Its arrival is scheduled for March 2026, and it promises to be one of the cheapest electric vehicles ever sold in the country.
💸 Ultra-Affordable Electric Mobility
The A05 will hit the market priced between R$ 47,000 and R$ 49,000, placing it below the R$ 50,000 mark—a price point never before seen for a four-wheeled electric vehicle in Brazil.
It targets consumers who want a safer and more comfortable alternative to scooters and tricycles, without compromising on:
- ⚙️ Mechanical simplicity
- 💰 Low operating costs
- 🔌 Easy home charging
The initial launch will take place in major capitals, where short daily trips are part of everyday life.

Its proposal is similar to European microcars like the Citroën Ami, but with a stronger emphasis on cost-benefit and accessibility.
📏 Compact Size for Tight Streets
The A05 features a simple, functional design built for crowded city environments.
Dimensions & Capacity
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Length | 2.61 m |
| Width | 1.40 m |
| Height | 1.64 m |
| Total Weight (with battery) | 825 kg |
| Occupants | 3 seats |
| Payload | Up to 400 kg |
These measurements make parking and maneuvering effortless, especially in narrow urban streets.
⚡ Technical Specifications
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Motor | 3.2 kW (4.3 hp) asynchronous electric motor |
| Battery | 72V 100Ah (7 kWh) lithium |
| Max Speed | 45 km/h (limited) |
| Range | 55–60 km per charge |

Although modest in speed and range, the A05 is designed for daily short-distance use such as commuting to work, college, or quick family errands.
Charging via any normal wall outlet makes electrification easier for first-time EV users.
⚠️ Road Approval Still Pending
Despite market excitement, the Aima A05 is not yet fully homologated for Brazilian roads.
Because of its limited 45 km/h speed, regulations may restrict it to certain urban or private areas, similar to microcar rules in Europe.
Final approval will determine whether it becomes:
- 🚫 a restricted-use vehicle, or
- 🚦 a revolutionary low-cost mobility solution
🔋 Aima Bets on Brazil’s Demand for Low-Cost EVs
Aima has operated in Brazil for eight years with a strong presence in the electric scooter, motorcycle, and bicycle market.
Now, with the A05, Aima takes its boldest step—entering the microcar segment, believing there is massive pent-up demand for affordable EVs.
The company expects the minicar to appeal to:
- First-time buyers
- Urban commuters
- Families needing a practical second vehicle
The A05 could truly democratize electrification in Brazilian cities.
